Indian border guards kill 2 on border with Pakistan, raising tensions
Security sources said the two men were unarmed and did not try to cross the fence, calling the shooting a violation of border rules.
- On Friday, October 2, 2026, Indian Border Security Force personnel killed two unarmed civilians and injured a third near the Pakistan-India international border in Kasur, security sources reported.

- Security sources identified the deceased as Azmat Rasool and Mohsin Jutt from Ladhar, stating the unprovoked firing constituted an open violation of border agreements and standard operating procedures.
- Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry warned that Pakistan remains ready to respond to any attacks, stating Pakistan would "inflict a cost that will be very severe" if India proceeds with military action.
- While Indian media reportedly described the casualties as infiltrators, security sources rejected these claims as propaganda, illustrating escalating tensions between the two nations over conflicting narratives.
